fooNrEcToN PACKAGE.

Application filed August '25,' v1925. Serial No.` 52,433.

My present invention relates generally to. confection packages and more particularly to a candy sales Vand display container adapted for use in the sale of confectionsof transfer of such contents in themanner required at'present. l

In the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specilication and illustrating my invent-ion,

Figurel 1 is a perspective view showing the complete confection package partly broken away and in sectiomand Y Figure 2 is a vertical longitudinal section taken therethrough.

Referring now toV those figures, my invention proposes a confection paclU-igein-` cluding a base 10 having a surrounding flange 11 and in practice preferably impressed. colored or otherwise ornamented or embellished to form a display tray within the display case or upon the counter of a retail store and the like where it is important that the goods be displayed to the purchasing public.

rPhe flanges 11 of the base section 10 are adapted to receive therein the lower edges of the side and end walls 12 andv 13 with a snllicien'tly loose fit to permit these walls to be readily elevated out of the base section 1o and yet a. sufficiently tight litto reenforce these n'alls and prevent the same from ont-` ward bulging.

The upper edges of the side and end Walls are telescoped by a flangedv cover or lid 14:, the lianges 15 of which also assist in reinforcing the side and end Walls while the package is in its original form.

Within the container thus formed, the confection contents shown at 16 are ar ranged upon trays 1T lsuperposed upon one another and disposed inthe iirst instance' upon a false bottom in the form of al plate 18 resting at its `edges Vupon the inner slop.-4

ing portion ofthe* tray-like base 10 and additionally supported vbyY a flanged lower sinnaorting piece 19. Thus upon removal of he Walls 12 and 1311s well as the cover 14, the vertical series of trays will remain upon the base l() and the confections fully eX- posed to the purchasing public. or, if desired, the several trays and the false bottom .18 as well as its support 19 may be removed and the candy suitably and attractively arn ranged upon 'the trayflile base 10.

It is obvious that in the manner described 4my invention avoids the delays and disad- `section in the form of a display tray having upwardly and outwardly inclined sidewalls equipped with upturned peripheral flanges, a false bottom supported Within and resting on the inclined walls of the base-section; a support under said false bottom'resting on the bottomiof the base section, said false bottom and support being removable from the base section' or tray, side andend walls and a cover removablefrom said base section or tray, and confectionholding yt'ays on the base section ortray and arranged in superposed relation to support confections in exposed position 'thereon when said side walls and cover are removed, the side and end walls being inserted within the flange of the base section between it and the bottom confection holding tray whereby said walls are held against bulging.
